The Europeans by Henry James
"The Europeans" by Henry James is a novel published in 1878. Two sophisticated European siblings arrive in puritanical New England to meet their distant American cousins. Eugenia seeks a wealthy husband after her morganatic marriage faces dissolution, while her brother Felix embraces their relatives' simpler life.

complicate everyone's hopes for happiness across the Atlantic divide. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
